As promised yesterday, here are a few photos from our earlier barrel tasting on July 24. It was a great evening of wine, too.

Right now we have a LOT of different tasty wines in the barrels

Too bad we have to wait another year for our summer barrel tastings to return. If you missed them this year, be on the lookout for announcements next spring about our July and August 2011 (yes, 2011) barrel tasting evenings. We even have some new ideas for next year!
